ALPENA— Arts, education, human services and literacy programs are just some of the areas touched by the most recent round of grants from the Northeast Michigan Youth Advisory Council (NEMYAC). The Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM) Board of Trustees recently approved $25,334 in a new round of youth-related NEMYAC grants covering a four-county area that includes Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency and Presque Isle Counties.

The next deadline for NEMYAC Grants is January 15, 2019. Community Impact Grant applications are also due on January 15. Applications for both grant opportunities can be found at www.cfnem.org.

The Northeast Michigan Youth Advisory Council (NEMYAC) is made up of youth from across the CFNEM service area. These young people learn the importance of philanthropy and community service through the grantmaking process, gaining important leadership skills along the way. NEMYAC Grants are made possible through the Kellogg Youth Fund at the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan.
